Enjoy superb audio from desktop speakers

Looking for multimedia speakers that can deliver high-performance sound from your iPod, iPhone, or computer? Enter the Focal XS 2.1 multimedia sound system. This advanced audio system features two desktop speakers and a powered subwoofer you can place on the floor.

Simple setup with USB connection

The system connects to your computer through a standard USB cable. This connection bypasses the PC's sound card and feeds the signal to Focal's advanced Burr-Brown digital-to-analog converter, which produces highly accurate, richly detailed sound.

Integrated iPod and iPhone dock

An iPod dock built into the base of one of the speaker stands helps you avoid desktop clutter. Simply dock your player and enjoy clear, natural sound with your favorite tunes. The Focal XS also charges your iPod, and a switch on the back of the docking base lets you sync your player with your computer.

Quality construction for optimal performance

Three separate built-in amps power the system — one each for the left and right speakers, and a third for the subwoofer. This ensures optimal responsiveness from each speaker. Mylar dome tweeters reproduce clear highs, while 3" woofers handle the midrange frequencies. A 6-1/2" powered subwoofer deliver full, rich bass.

Convenient remote control operation

Use the system's compact remote to control volume, as well as basic commands on your iPod, such as play, pause, skip and start. And you can attach the magnetized remote to either of the anodized aluminum speaker stands for quick access when not in use.

"If you're working on a computer for long periods of time (and who isn't these days?) the Focal XS can deliver a listening experience that rivals a good home audio system. When I was sitting in that sweet spot typing away on my laptop, the Focal XS 2.1 Multimedia System's soundscape really made my stored music come alive."

Features

Overview: The Focal XS is a high-end 2.1 multimedia sound system
provides dynamic and powerful studio-quality sound for your Windows or Mac
computer (with integrated sound card and USB connection), iPod or iPhone
(featuring dock-connector), and other portable digital audio devices (equipped
with a 3.5mm connector). The Focal XS 2.1 multimedia sound system consists of
two satellite loudspeakers with integrated pedestal bases and iPod dock, along
with a separate 6.5" powered subwoofer.

Powered Subwoofer: The Focal XS 2.1 multimedia sound system includes
an active bass-reflex subwoofer with a 6.5" paper-cone down-firing woofer and
2.25" front-firing flared port. Three amplifiers are integrated inside the
subwoofer; a 70-watt RMS amplifier is dedicated to the 6.5" subwoofer for deep
low-end bass, and two 30-watts RMS amplifiers are designed specifically for the
two loudspeakers. The powered subwoofer is equipped with a rear-panel bass-level
control which permits you to adapt the subwoofer to your room's acoustics and
proportions. The 6.5" powered subwoofer provides a frequency response of
39Hz-150Hz. The active subwoofer features three connections: Dock (proprietary
port for the right-loudspeaker), Left Speaker (RCA-type jack for the
left-loudspeaker), and an AC inlet (for the 6' detachable AC power cord). The
powered sub also features a rear-panel main power switch.

Note: The powered subwoofer is designed to be placed under your
desk, on the floor (not on top your desk with the loudspeakers).

Satellite Loudspeakers: The Focal XS 2.1 multimedia sound system
includes two 2-way, video-shielded satellite loudspeakers (Right/Left) with
integrated pedestal bases for placement on top your desk by your computer. Each
2-way satellite loudspeaker features a 0.75" mylar dome tweeter and a 3.0" paper
cone mid-bass woofer with a frequency response of 15Hz-20kHz. Each satellite
speaker plugs into the included powered subwoofer and is powered by the
subwoofer's integrated 30-watt RMS amplifiers. The satellite loudspeakers
feature Focal's VCS (Visual and Sound Coincidence) concept which provides very
realistic sound imaging. The right loudspeaker features a Power button and
volume control for the system.

iPod Dock: The Focal XS 2.1 multimedia sound system's right satellite
loudspeaker features an integrated top-mounted iPod dock and is "Made for iPod"
compatible. The iPod dock can be used for playback of your iPod's audio content
and to sync your iPod with iTunes (USB from your PC must also be connected to
the Focal XS). You can control basic playback functions of your iPod from the
included remote or full control of your iPod's click-wheel or touch-screen will
still be available. iPod text information, album art, and video/photo content
will still need to be viewed from your iPod's LCD screen. While docked the Focal XS 2.1 will charge your iPod. The Focal XS
2.1 multimedia System includes 8 iPod dock insert adapters and is compatible
with the following iPod models and functions (as of 1/6/2013):

Great sound

This system would sound great without the sub but with it (and the ability to adjust its output) I was very impressed - from either just an iPod or especially the computer. Even at the highest volume the sound was very clean and balanced.

Pros:Great sound / compatibility with either an iPod/iPhone or computer

Cons:Expensive / subwoofer placement may be a challenge if there isn't much room under the desk

Stop don't look any forward

Written By OT, Sault Sainte Marie, MI on Sunday, December 08, 2013

Just to introduce myself, I'm very specific about how I listen to my music anything here or there will just turn me off. So after a lengthy research I decided to buy these Focal XS 2.1 and boy it is a great choice, if you want to buy Bose go ahead because if Bose is on your wish list means you know nothing about quality sound, this 2.1 is just untouchable, make sure you have WMA files it will just surprise you with the clean crisp sound, Sub is very tight like how subs are suppose to be, as I say you can make a $20 sub sound louder then $1000 sub its the tightness of sub that counts. One last thing, I want to thank Crutchfield staff they were very nice and helpful. Buy it my friend if you are reading this comment.

Pros:Sound Quality, looks and Focal

Cons:Only if it had a volume display and a Headphone jack life would have been perfect.

Very good, not spectacular

Good sound, easy to set up, small, nice looking. Remote not that easy to use because of the angle of the on/off switch. Doesn't have a headphone jack--that's a serious lack, in my view. Sometimes nobody in the house can deal with the volume!. But it's a good system, just not spectacular.

Focal XS® 2.1 Multimedia Sound System

I own a 27" iMac and I was looking for some speakers that would go well with it. I was a bit hesitant to pick these up mainly because of the price but the way I see it, I wont be buying any new speakers for my computer any time soon. These speakers sounds amazing.

I have two complaints about these speakers.

Volume Rocker: My Logitech Z4 speakers not only have a round knob (like most speakers) to adjust the volume but also a connector to connect your headphones. The Focal XS speakers have a "minus" and "plus" button to adjust the volume which is a pain because if you need to turn the volume down you need to keep pushing the button, its just a hassle. Its not that big of a deal because I can adjust the volume from my keyboard but still, for speakers at this price, I'd expect better.

Remote Control: I'll be pretty blunt, the controller is cheap.

overall though, great speakers. I'm giving it a 4 because of the volume buttons and remote control but overall I'm happy with these

My son's 1st system

The 1st set were damaged, however 1 call to Crutchfield quickly and painlessly remedied the problem.

Great looking speakers that take up minimal space. Yes they are relatively expensive but their sound and build quality surely warrant the price tag. The only negative comment would be the attached speaker wire is not very flexible and a little short for my liking.

Best of both worlds, Performance and Beauty

This is a Fantastic set of speaker system, make no mistake about it. As a long time user of 30" apple lcd and dell U2711, I can definitely say they did a wonderful job for producing this decent sppeakers. I know I paid more than a half grand for it, but considering its sharp, vivid, and bright sound quality you could easily forget about it. I'm hearing a lot of unknown sounds out these satellites, which I've never heard from my previous speakers. Just amazing.
